Player Lookup

RustPotato's Rust Player Lookup takes a Steam ID or profile link and shows bans on record, account age, Rust hours, inventory value and player votes.

Paste a Steam ID or a profile link

Any of these works

steamcommunity.com/profiles/…the link of a Steam profile
steamcommunity.com/id/…a profile link with a custom name
STEAM_0:1:…[U:1:…]the older SteamID and SteamID3 forms, or a friend code

A name seen in game can't be looked up here: two players can wear the same one, and a name can change at any time. Open the player's Steam profile and copy its address.

What Player Lookup shows for a Rust player

Player Lookup is RustPotato's Steam ID lookup for Rust players, a ban checker and an hours checker in one: paste a Steam ID or a /profiles/ or /id/ link before you team up with a random or let a stranger into your base. What shows depends on the profile's privacy settings:

What a Rust player's Steam profile shows on Player Lookup
Line	Shows on
Bans, name, avatar and four ID formats	Every profile
Account age	Public profile
Rust hours	Public profile with public game details
Rust inventory and value	Public profile with public inventory
Votes and views	Every profile

What each line of a Rust player check means

A Player Lookup result has eight lines for the Steam account behind a Rust player. RustPotato counts the votes and the views itself; the rest comes from the player's Steam account.

VAC bans: Bans from Valve Anti-Cheat on this Steam account, with the days since the most recent ban of any kind.
Game bans: Bans a game studio placed on the account. A Rust cheating ban from Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) shows here, but Steam does not say which game gave one, so a game ban is not proof of a Rust ban.
Account age: How long ago the Steam account was made. Only a public profile shows it.
Rust hours: Hours in Rust since the account got the game, and the hours played in the last two weeks. Only a profile with public game details shows them.
Rust inventory: The Rust items of a public inventory, how many of each, their estimated value at today's cheapest listing on the Steam Market (the same prices as Rust skin prices) and a curve of what they were worth day by day. Only the name of each item, how many there are and how many can be traded or sold are kept, in memory for half an hour at most, never on disk; Copy to my portfolio sends them to Skins Portfolio.
Steam ID formats: The same account written four ways: the SteamID64, the older SteamID and SteamID3, and the friend code Steam asks for to add someone. A Custom URL shows when the player set one.
Votes: What other visitors marked: friendly, toxic (insults, griefing or harassment, one vote for all of it) or suspected cheating. One vote per connection.
Views: How many times this Steam ID was looked up on Player Lookup, at most once per connection every 30 minutes.

How to check a Rust player's hours, bans and account age

To check a Rust player's hours, open their Steam profile, copy the address and paste it into Player Lookup. The hours show only when the profile and its game details are public, while the VAC and game bans show on every profile, with the days since the latest one. Account age matters because a ban stays on the account that got it: a clean record on an account a few weeks old, with few hours in Rust, only means there is no history yet. Player Lookup shows no kills, deaths or K/D ratio.

Questions about checking a Rust player

Can you look up a Rust player with a private Steam profile?

Yes, a Rust player with a private Steam profile can still be looked up by Steam ID, and the bans on record, the name and the avatar show. Everything else waits on the profile: account age and inventory need it public, and the hours need public game details too.

Does a VAC ban or a game ban on Steam mean the player was banned from Rust?

No, a VAC ban or a Steam game ban is not proof of a Rust ban: Steam never names the game behind a game ban, so either can come from another game. A Rust cheating ban from Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) shows as a game ban, and Player Lookup gives both counts with the days since the latest.

Can I look up a Rust player by the name I saw in game?

No, Player Lookup cannot search a Rust player by the name seen in game: Steam names are neither unique nor permanent, so only the Steam ID points to one account. Paste the player's 17-digit Steam ID or the link of their Steam profile instead.

What do the votes on a Rust player mean?

Votes on a Rust player are other visitors' calls, one per connection: friendly, toxic or suspected cheating. Read a pile of toxic or cheating votes as a reason to look harder at the bans and the account age, never as proof. You can change or take back your own vote.

How much is a Rust player's inventory worth?

Player Lookup prices a public Rust inventory at today's cheapest Steam Market listing for each item and adds them up. Items with no price are listed but left out of the total, and a private inventory shows nothing. Each connection can read ten inventories a day, shared with the Skins Portfolio, and a read from the last half hour shows again for free.

What does the view count on a Rust player mean?

The views on a Rust player count how many times that Steam ID was looked up on RustPotato, your own lookup included. One connection adds at most one view per player every half hour, so reloading adds nothing, and the count resets after a year without a lookup.

Where do I find the Steam ID of a Rust player?

The Steam ID of a Rust player sits at the end of the player's Steam profile address: the 17-digit SteamID64, or the custom name the player chose. Paste that address into Player Lookup and it writes the account's ID in all four formats.

Can I check the hours of a Rust console player?

A Rust Console Edition player on PlayStation or Xbox cannot be checked on Player Lookup: the tool reads Steam accounts only, so there is no Steam ID to paste. Any Rust player on PC with a Steam account can be looked up, private profile or not.

Why is RustPotato's Player Lookup the best player lookup for Rust?

RustPotato's Player Lookup is the best player lookup for Rust because one search bar takes any SteamID64, SteamID, SteamID3, friend code or profile link. Every profile shows VAC and game bans with days since the latest ban, all four ID formats and visitor votes, while public profiles add account age, Rust hours and inventory value.
